Terrell Carter II had a career-best 21 points to lead the Bulldogs (5-3), who outscored MU 53-37 over the final 20 minutes to make things close.

Carter II's basket with 24 seconds remaining pulled FSU within a pair, 80-78, but two free throws apiece from Hauser and Johnson put MU up six before Jaron Hopkins added a final 3-pointer with time expiring.

Marquette continued its stretch of hot first half starts by racing out to a 47-28 lead at the break and shooting 57.1 percent (16-of-28) from the floor, including 54.5 percent (6-of-11) from 3-point range. MU has now topped 50-percent field goal shooting in the first half of its last five contests and is 68.8 percent (22-of-32) from deep in the first half of the last three games.

The Golden Eagles return to action at the BMO Harris Bradley Center against in-state rival Wisconsin at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 10 in a game broadcast live on FS1.
